About Marlin Developer's Bench
Marlin Developer's Bench
A native plain-text bench for the files other editors refuse to open, with every transform visible as a pipeline.
- Opens multi-gigabyte files
- 54 languages built in
- No network entitlement
- macOS and Linux
Marlin Developer's Bench is a native editor for the files that freeze other apps: multi-gigabyte server logs, database exports, and massive codebases. Open giant files in under one second, filter rows step by step, inspect binary structures in hex mode, and preview Markdown documentation with zero cloud dependencies. Available for macOS and Linux.
Huge files open at once
Server logs, database exports, and data dumps open without a wait, and the status bar keeps the encoding, line endings, and size in view.
Every transform is a visible pipeline
Match, Extract, Bucket, Sort, and Unique run as steps you can see and change. Nothing touches the file until you choose Write Result.
Hex, diff, and search in the same window
Read binary files byte by byte with a data inspector, compare the buffer with the file on disk, and search the whole project.
Private by design
No accounts, no analytics, and no network entitlement. The optional assistant runs on this Mac and stays off until you turn it on.
